Ketu-III

Ketu is also a planet for mysticism. The twelfth house represents awakening into super-consciousness and moksha. It is the mind that awakens into the Divine Reality and understands that the mundane life is but an illusion. Hence a contact between the fourth and twelfth houses is an indication of super-consciousness. The twelfth house from Ketu and the fourth house from the Moon should likewise be related to confirm this initial finding.
We will consider the birth charts of Ma Amritanandmayi and Raman Maharshi. Both of them are spiritually highly evolved saints.
We will first examine Ma Amritanandmayi’s chart. She was born on September 27, 1953, at 0910 hours at Vallikunnu, India, 9n10, 76e31, time zone 0530 hours east of Greenwich.

The Sun and Mercury are associated in the twelfth house.
The birth data for Raman Maharshi is as follows: birth on December 30, 1879, at 0100 hour near Madurai, India, 9n50, 78e15, time zone 0530 hours. In Raman Maharshi’s chart the owner of the twelfth house is in the fourth. The fourth house from the Moon is in Virgo and the twelfth from Ketu is in Taurus.
